TELE readers snapped some fantastic photos over the weekend as Greenock welcomed its first large cruise ship of the 2023 season.

Mein Schiff 3 became the first big vessel to call at Ocean Terminal this year following the visit of the 180-capacity MV Spitsenberg last week.

The 15-deck ship can accommodate up to 2,700 passengers across its 1,253 cabins.

She was built in Malta in 2014 and is currently operated by Tui Cruises.

Mein Schiff 3 docked in Greenock on Sunday, before heading to Belfast as part of a 10-day round trip from Bremerhaven in Germany.

The trip has seen her already visit in the Highland port of Invergordon, with further stops scheduled on the Isle of Portland and in Southampton before she returns to Bremerhaven on May 6.
